Let's start with Star Trek, a show from the 1960s, which has a massive, dedicated following even today.
But when it was first produced, it got through three seasons and the network decided it wasn't going anywhere.
Why?
Poor ratings.
They had a great show on their hands, a show that would bring out a fierce dedication in a large fan base, but they simply could not get eyeballs on it.
What makes you think you could do any better?
If even Star Trek gets canceled for lack of viewers, what hope do any of us have?
That's why you have to have a plan. You can't just build something and cross your fingers in the hope of someone seeing it.
You can have a great business idea with your own products, or an affiliate business where you sell someone else's or whatever it is. But if you can't get people there, all that sweat equity will wind up amounting to $0.
Then you have to explain to your spouse all that wasted time, and why nothing is going anywhere, and it's hideous.
Now look: everybody wants an online business now, with the insanity and totalitarianism hitting increasingly close to home.
I've been urging this course of action for years, but I admit: Joe Biden and his vaccine mandates have been much better in the past month at persuading people to start online businesses than I have in six years.
Some people are going to go about it all wrong. They'll think having a great product or service is enough; what they have to offer will sell itself.
But having a great idea doesn't amount to anything if you can't get eyeballs on it.
You are going to fail, hard, if you don't know how to do this.
Or, upon failing, you're going to spend yourself int oblivion desperately trying to get traffic through ads.
No need to do that.
I am going to save you from that, but you need to meet me halfway.
An excellent, inexpensive traffic training called Traffic Five will give you what you need to know -- and I PROMISE YOU, 97 percent of people starting online businesses out of desperation won't know any of it, and it will cost them dearly.
If you pick up Traffic Five before tomorrow night, I'll throw in a bonus: my video revealing how I monetize -- that is, earn smackers thanks to -- my haters. If that isn't fun to learn about, and valuable to know how to do, what is?
Just pick up Traffic Five before tomorrow night and forward your receipt to bonuses@tomwoods.com.
